Sanskrit Studies
The Sanskrit Studies area features immersive study of the Sanskrit language in Sanskrit medium, starting from basic familiarity, moving towards proficiency and takes the students deep into the world of mastery of Sanskrit. Underscoring the importance of Sanskrit for the study of the source texts of the Vedas, Vedanta, Yoga, Ayurveda, and Shastras, in general, i.e. the varied knowledge systems rooted in Hindu thought, this collection of courses focus on practice-oriented study, providing direct, unmediated access to these source-texts without having to rely on translations.
Immersion in this area prepares students for a rigorous engagement with Hindu knowledge systems including the literary, spiritual and scientific literature embedded in the Sanskrit language. It enables the students to explore ancient and classical texts such as the Upanishads, Ramayana, Mahabharata, Puranas and the Prasthana Traya with a commitment and concern for the wellbeing and future of humanity. Students who wish to specialize in Sanskrit may take a minimum of six and as many as ten different courses from the Sanskrit Concentration, in addition to the basic Hindu Studies Foundation courses to complete the course work requirements for their Graduate Degrees.
